The Synergy of Builders and Design Consultants: Part One

In the construction industry, particularly in high end residential, the collaboration between builders and design consultants is recognised as a key factor in achieving a successful project. This partnership, when executed effectively, can provide enhanced creativity, exploration of cost efficiency, and be able to secure exceptional end products. Here at Locagroup we specialise in high end residential buildings and pride ourselves in having built many stunning residences whilst strongly collaborating with a multitude of design professionals.

Over the next couple months, we will take a closer look as to why the relationship between builders and design consultants is so important in transforming the building process from inception all the way to completion, and into the service life of the building.

?Today we will provide a snapshot on the Power of Collaboration.

The Power of Collaboration

The collaboration between builders and design consultants at its core is about merging technical expertise with creative vision. Design consultants contribute their skills in providing aesthetic concepts and understanding user experience, in essence capturing the vision of clients by pushing boundaries and challenging innovation. On the other hand, builders bring invaluable expertise in such things as construction techniques, ideal structure type, buildability and resource optimisation, allowing creative vision to go from concept to reality.

In high end residential building this relationship cannot be emphasised enough and needs to commence at client brief and the design concept stage. By doing this the builder can ensure a design is made achievable at every step, overall assisting in cost-effective construction and enabling successful project management.

?When both disciplines work together seamlessly, a project exceeds expectations.
